I've been on tirz since late June of '25, stacking a small dose of Survo against it since November or December with no intent to continue the survo in maintenance but wanting relief from fatigue. Lost almost all my excess weight and heading toward the end. Got ten years' worth of max dose tirz in my freezer, got mostly over my urge to hoard it because ok, that's enough to feel fairly un-anxious. Started slow-hoarding reta with no intention of actually using it for years, because I like meds that have been out in the general population for several years so we have real-world medium-term data, but figured there may come a time when I might want to switch in maintenance because people seem to love it so much. Got to three years worth, and said ok, hang on..it's fine that I don't want to be on it long term yet, but I should prolly try it for a few months and sacrifice a couple of vials to make sure it's even slightly ok for me, because won't I be disappointed someday if I decide to switch to it and find out it's terrible for me. Intend to titrate back down, switch back to tirz, and keep doing what I was doing when the two vials are up.
Last dose of tirz was 3/16. Started a 2.2 dose of reta. Got anxious, injected another 1.1, then another the next day, then another. Got ahold of myself, did 4.4 mg the following week, then 4.4 again. Didn't want to jump too high while I still had tirz overlap, or too fast because come on random, let's not screw around TOO much here.
Today's my shot day, and I could and maybe should do no more than 4.4 mg. If I do that this week and next week, then I'll probably be ok to titrate up after that. The trouble is, I'm a food monster over the last week. Sure, my period is coming and of course I'm hungrier, but Jesus, I'm ASHAMED of how much I ate yesterday. that feeling has been in my rear view mirror since last summer, so it's pretty scary to have that again.
I'm having no side-effects; I may as well be injecting straight bac for how the "feelz" are, which I know is such a common feeling with new reta users who have been on tirz. And I trust the source of my reta and it's well tested, I know it's not fake, this is just how it is at first for a lot of people and I'm one of them, ok. But I don't want to feel food obsessed. The three pounds the scale went up this week are almost certainly not fat, not with the amount of sugar and carbs I've been stuffing into my mouth and the upcoming period. It's water and ok. but it WILL be fat if I keep this up.
现在就断言“哦，瑞塔对我没用”，然后换回替扎尼定，停止囤瑞塔，还为时过早。我真的很想认真尝试一下。但我愿意听听大家的建议，下一步该怎么做：是继续服用4.4毫克，还是增加到5.5毫克或6.6毫克，或者尝试其他方法。我感觉自己好像看过无数次类似的经历，答案几乎总是“可能要到8毫克才会感觉到效果”，但我不想再经历几个月无法控制的状态，因为我已经非常习惯于掌控自己的情绪了。
